Veggies for Breakfast

One of the biggest changes that we've made since becoming a Paleo family is making it a point to get veggies at every meal -- including breakfast. I'll admit that it can be tricky and there are obviously days where we don't succeed, but for the most part, we have figured out how to integrate veggies into our breakfasts. You could easily just roast some broccoli and have that with your eggs or saute up some bell peppers, which we love to do, but we've been trying to "diversify", if you will. Here are some of the recent things we've had:

The other morning, the boys had smoothies with spinach, strawberries, and coconut milk, along with some mini frittatas which has peppers, spinach, onions and bacon.

This is a couple of eggs with some bacon and chard.

Our littlest dude had some avocado (which he likes to put in his hair...) and a banana one morning.

And, probably our favorite veggie to have with breakfast is zucchini. It's actually probably tied with peppers in all honesty. Here we had it with some sausage and eggs.

Anybody out there have any other great ideas for getting veggies at breakfast?

Who we are...

We are just a little family of four (mom, dad, two boys, ages 5 and 1) living the Paleo lifestyle. We're not perfect, but we're doing our best to live a healthy and full life -- and enjoying it to the fullest!
